Twisted Core 15.0.0 (2015-01-24)
================================
Features
--------
- twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory (and subclasses) may now
return None from buildProtocol to immediately close the connection.
(#710)
- twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase.assertRaises can now
return a context manager. (#5339)
- Implementations of
twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint included in
Twisted itself will now handle None being returned from the client
factory's buildProtocol method by immediately closing the
connection and firing the waiting Deferred with a Failure. (#6976)
- inlineCallbacks now supports using the return statement with a
value on Python 3 (#7624)
- twisted.spread.banana.Banana.sendEncoded() now raises a more
informative error message if the user tries to encode objects of
unsupported type. (#7663)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorMulticast.listenMultiple works
again RHEL 6's python 2.6. (#7159)
- Allow much more of the code within Twisted to use ProcessEndpoint
by adding IPushProducer and IConsumer interfaces to its resulting
transport. (#7436)
- twisted.internet.ssl.Certificate(...).getPublicKey().keyHash() now
produces a stable value regardless of OpenSSL version.
Unfortunately this means that it is different than the value
produced by older Twisted versions. (#7651)
- twisted.python.reflect.safe_str on Python 3 converts utf-8 encoded
bytes to clean str instead of "b'a'" (#7660)
- twisted.spread.banana.Banana now raises NotImplementedError when
receiving pb messages without pb being the selected dialect (#7662)
- The SSL server string endpoint parser
(twisted.internet.endpoints.serverFromString) now constructs
endpoints which, by default, disable the insecure SSLv3 protocol.
(#7684)
- The SSL client string endpoint parser
(twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString) now constructs
endpoints which, by default, disable the insecure SSLv3 protocol.
(#7686)

documentation, so that it is now possible to build the documenation
using make.bat on Windows. (#7542)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.statinfo was deprecated. (#4450)
- twisted.internet.defer.deferredGenerator is now deprecated.
twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks should be used instead.
(#6044)
- Pickling twisted.internet.ssl.OptionSSLCertificationOptions and
twisted.internet.ssl.Keypair is no longer supported. __getstate__
and __setstate__ methods of these classes have been deprecated.

=================================
No significant changes have been made for this release.
Twisted Core 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
================================
Features
--------
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IUDPTransport - and that interface's
implementations in Twisted - now supports enabling broadcasting.
(#454)
- trial's TestCase will now report a test method as an error if that
test method is a generator function, preventing an issue when a
user forgets to decorate a test method with defer.inlineCallbacks,
causing the test method to not run. (#3917)
- twisted.positioning, a new API for positioning systems such as GPS,
has been added. It comes with an implementation of NMEA, the most
common wire protocol for GPS devices. It will supersede
twisted.protoocols.gps. (#3926)
- The new interface twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint
StringParserWithReactor will supply the reactor to its
parseStreamClient method, passed along from
twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString. (#5069)
- IReactorUDP.listenUDP, IUDPTransport.write and
IUDPTransport.connect now accept ipv6 address literals. (#5086)
- A new API, twisted.internet.ssl.optionsForClientTLS, allows clients
to specify and verify the identity of the peer they're communicating
with. When used with the service_identity library from PyPI, this
provides support for service identity verification from RFC 6125, as
well as server name indication from RFC 6066. (#5190)
- Twisted's TLS support now provides a way to ask for user-configured
trust roots rather than having to manually configure such
certificate authority certificates yourself.
twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now accepts a new argument,
trustRoot, which combines verification flags and trust sources, as
well as a new function that provides a value for that argument,
twisted.internet.ssl.platformTrust, which allows using the trusted
platform certificate authorities from OpenSSL for certificate
verification. (#5446)
- Constants are now comparable/orderable based on the order in which
they are defined. (#6523)
- "setup.py install" and "pip install" now work on Python 3.3,
installing the subset of Twisted that has been ported to Python 3.
(#6539)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports ECDHE for
servers by default on pyOpenSSL 0.14 and later, if the underlying
versions of cryptography.io and OpenSSL support it. (#6586)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now allows the user to set
acceptable ciphers and uses secure ones by default. (#6663)
- The Deferred returned by
twisted.internet.defer.DeferredFilesystemLock.deferUntilLocked can
now be cancelled. (#6720)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now enables TLSv1.1 and
TLSv1.2 by default (in addition to TLSv1.0) if the underlying
version of OpenSSL supports these protocol versions. (#6772)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports Diffie-Hellman
key exchange. (#6799)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now disables TLS
compression to avoid CRIME attacks and, for servers, uses server
preference to choose the cipher. (#6801)
- SSL server endpoint string descriptions now support the
specification of Diffie-Hellman key exchange parameter files.
(#6924)
- twisted.python.reflect.requireModule was added to handle
conditional imports of python modules and work around pyflakes
warnings of unused imports code. (#7014)
Bugfixes
--------
- If a ProcessProtocol.processExited method raised an exception a
broken process handler would be left in the global process state
leading to errors later on. This has been fixed and now an error
will be logged instead. (#5151)
- Twisted now builds on Solaris. Note that lacking a Buildbot slave
(see http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/boxes-supported) Solaris is
not a supported Twisted platform. (#5728)
- twisted.internet.utils is now correctly installed on Python 3.
(#6929)
- twisted.python.threadpool.ThreadPool no longer starts new workers
when its pool size is changed while the pool is not running.
(#7011)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Twisted now uses the Sphinx documentation generator for its
narrative documentation, which means that the source format for
narrative documentation has been converted to ReStructuredText.
(#4500)
- The Sphinx documentation is now also configured to allow
intersphinx links to standard library documentation. (#4582)
- The docstring for twisted.internet.task.react now better documents
the main parameter (#6071)
- The writing standard now explicitly mandates the usage of
ungendered pronouns. (#6858)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- test_import.py was removed as it was redundant. (#2053)
- Support for versions of pyOpenSSL older than 0.10 has been removed.
Affected users should upgrade pyOpenSSL. (#5014)
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpointStringParser is
now deprecated in favor of twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClien
tEndpointStringParserWithReactor. (#5069)
- unsignedID and setIDFunction, previously part of
twisted.python.util and deprecated since 13.0, have now been
removed. (#6707)
- FTPClient.changeDirectory was deprecated in 8.2 and is now removed.
(#6759)
- twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.closeStdin, an alias for
loseWriteConnection only available on POSIX and deprecated since
2.1, has been removed. (#6785)
- twisted.python.reflect.getcurrent is now deprecated and must not be
used. twisted.python.reflect.isinst is now deprecated in favor of
the built-in isinstance. (#6859)

Twisted Names 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
=================================
Features
--------
- twisted.names.root.Resolver now accepts a resolverFactory argument,
which makes it possible to control how root.Resolver performs
iterative queries to authoritative nameservers. (#6095)
- twisted.names.dns.Message now has a repr method which shows only
those instance flags, fields and sections which are set to non-
default values. (#6847)
- twisted.names.dns.Message now support rich comparison. (#6848)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.names.server.DNSServerFactory now responds with messages
whose flags and fields are reset to their default values instead of
copying these from the request. This means that AD and CD flags,
and EDNS OPT records in the request are no longer mirrored back to
the client. (#6645)
Improved Documentation

===============================
Features
--------
- twisted.web.http.proxiedLogFormatter can now be used with

-Forwarded-For values to the access log when the HTTP server is
deployed behind a reverse proxy. (#1468)
- twisted.web.client.Agent now uses
twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions for SSL/TLS and benefits
from its continuous improvements. (#6893)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.web.client.Agent now correctly manage flow-control on
pooled connections, and therefore requests will no longer hang
sometimes when deliverBody is not called synchronously within the
callback on Request. (#6751)
- twisted.web.client.Agent now verifies that the provided server
certificate in a TLS connection is trusted by the platform. (#7042)
- When requesting an HTTPS URL with twisted.web.client.Agent, the
hostname of the presented certificate will be checked against the
requested hostname; mismatches will now result in an error rather
than a man-in-the-middle opportunity for attackers. This may break
existing code that incorrectly depended on insecure behavior, but
such code was erroneous and should be updated. (#4888)

f returns something other than a generator or uses returnValue as a
non-generator. (#2501)
- twisted.python.usage.Options now supports performing Zsh tab-
completion on demand. Tab-completion for Twisted commands is
supported out-of-the-box on any recent zsh release. Third-party
commands may take advantage of zsh completion by copying the
provided stub file. (#3078)
- twisted.protocols.portforward now uses flow control between its
client and server connections to avoid having to buffer an
unbounded amount of data when one connection is slower than the
other. (#3350)
- On Windows, the select, IOCP, and Gtk2 reactors now implement
IReactorWin32Events (most notably adding support for serial ports
to these reactors). (#4862)
- twisted.python.failure.Failure no longer captures the state of
locals and globals of all stack frames by default, because it is
expensive to do and rarely used. You can pass captureVars=True to
Failure's constructor if you want to capture this data. (#5011)
- twisted.web.client now supports automatic content-decoding via
twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent, gzip being supported for
now. (#5053)

logging prefix. twisted.protocols.policies.ProtocolWrapper and the
endpoints wrapper now take advantage of this feature to ensure the
application protocol is still reflected in logs. (#5062)
- AMP's raw message-parsing performance was increased by
approximately 12%. (#5075)
- Twisted is now installable on PyPy, because some incompatible C
extensions are no longer built. (#5158)
- twisted.internet.defer.gatherResults now accepts a consumeErrors
parameter, with the same meaning as the corresponding argument for
DeferredList. (#5159)
- Added RMD (remove directory) support to the FTP client. (#5259)
- Server factories may now implement ILoggingContext to customize the
name that is logged when the reactor uses one to start listening on
a port. (#5292)

TypeError if passed unicode strings. (#3896)
- iocp reactor now operates correctly on 64 bit Python runtimes.
(#4669)
- twistd ftp now supports the cred plugin. (#4752)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now has an API to retrieve the
permissions of the underlying file, and two methods to determine
whether it is a block device or a socket. (#4813)
- twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase is now compatible with Python 2.7's
assertDictEqual method. (#5291)
Bugfixes
--------
- The IOCP reactor now does not try to erroneously pause non-
streaming producers. (#745)
- Unicode print statements no longer blow up when using Twisted's
logging system. (#1990)
- Process transports on Windows now support the `writeToChild` method
(but only for stdin). (#2838)
- Zsh tab-completion of Twisted commands no longer relies on
statically generated files, but instead generates results on-the-
fly - ensuring accurate tab-completion for the version of Twisted
actually in use. (#3078)
- LogPublishers don't use the global log publisher for reporting
broken observers anymore. (#3307)
- trial and twistd now add the current directory to sys.path even
when running as root or on Windows. mktap, tapconvert, and
pyhtmlizer no longer add the current directory to sys.path. (#3526)
- twisted.internet.win32eventreactor now stops immediately if
reactor.stop() is called from an IWriteDescriptor.doWrite
implementation instead of delaying shutdown for an arbitrary period
of time. (#3824)
- twisted.python.log now handles RuntimeErrors more gracefully, and
always restores log observers after an exception is raised. (#4379)
- twisted.spread now supports updating new-style RemoteCache
instances. (#4447)
- twisted.spread.pb.CopiedFailure will no longer be thrown into a
generator as a (deprecated) string exception but as a
twisted.spread.pb.RemoteException. (#4520)
- trial now gracefully handles the presence of objects in sys.modules
which respond to attributes being set on them by modifying
sys.modules. (#4748)
- twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedModuleAttribute no longer
spuriously warns twice when used to deprecate a module within a
package. This should make it easier to write unit tests for
deprecated modules. (#4806)
- When pyOpenSSL 0.10 or newer is available, SSL support now uses
Twisted for all I/O and only relies on OpenSSL for cryptography,
avoiding a number of tricky, potentially broken edge cases. (#4854)
- IStreamClientEndpointStringParser.parseStreamClient now correctly
describes how it will be called by clientFromString (#4956)
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferreds are 10 times faster at handling
exceptions raised from callbacks, except when setDebugging(True)
has been called. (#5011)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.copyTo now raises OSError(ENOENT)
if the source path being copied does not exist. (#5017)
- twisted.python.modules now supports iterating over namespace
packages without yielding duplicates. (#5030)
- reactor.spawnProcess now uses the resource module to guess the
maximum possible open file descriptor when /dev/fd exists but gives
incorrect results. (#5052)
- The memory BIO TLS/SSL implementation now supports producers
correctly. (#5063)
- twisted.spread.pb.Broker no longer creates an uncollectable
reference cycle when the logout callback holds a reference to the
client mind object. (#5079)
- twisted.protocols.tls, and SSL/TLS support in general, now do clean
TLS close alerts when disconnecting. (#5118)
- twisted.persisted.styles no longer uses the deprecated allYourBase
function (#5193)
- Stream client endpoints now start (doStart) and stop (doStop) the
factory passed to the connect method, instead of a different
implementation-detail factory. (#5278)
- SSL ports now consistently report themselves as SSL rather than TCP
when logging their close message. (#5292)
- Serial ports now deliver connectionLost to the protocol when
closed. (#3690)
- win32eventreactor now behaves better in certain rare cases in which
it previously would have failed to deliver connection lost
notification to a protocol. (#5233)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Test driven development with Twisted and Trial is now documented in
a how-to. (#2443)
- A new howto-style document covering twisted.protocols.amp has been
added. (#3476)
- Added sample implementation of a Twisted push producer/consumer
system. (#3835)
- The "Deferred in Depth" tutorial now includes accurate output for
the deferred_ex2.py example. (#3941)
- The server howto now covers the Factory.buildProtocol method.
(#4761)
- The testing standard and the trial tutorial now recommend the
`assertEqual` form of assertions rather than the `assertEquals` to
coincide with the standard library unittest's preference. (#4989)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath's methods now have more complete
API documentation (docstrings). (#5027)
- The Clients howto now uses buildProtocol more explicitly, hopefully
making it easier to understand where Protocol instances come from.

deprecations to unambiguously specify what they have been
deprecated in favor of. (#3047)
- Added access methods to FilePath for FilePath.statinfo's st_ino,
st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, and st_gid fields. This is in

Unicode strings in the system environment (#3964)
- When C-extensions are not complied for twisted, on python2.4, skip
a test in twisted.internet.test.test_process that may hang due to a
SIGCHLD related problem. Running 'python setup.py build_ext
--inplace' will compile the extension and cause the test to both
run and pass. (#4331)
- twisted.python.logfile.LogFile now raises a descriptive exception
when passed a log directoy which does not exist. (#4701)
- Fixed a bug where Inotify will fail to add a filepatch to watchlist
after it has been added/ignored previously. (#4708)

implements ITransport and implements the getHost and getPeer
methods. (#2453)
- twisted.conch.ssh.transport.SSHTransportBase now responds to key
exchange messages at any time during a connection (instead of only
at connection setup). It also queues non-key exchange messages
sent during key exchange to avoid corrupting the connection state.
(#4395)
- Importing twisted.conch.ssh.common no longer breaks pow(base, exp[,
modulus]) when the gmpy package is installed and base is not an
integer. (#4803)
- twisted.conch.ls.lsLine now returns a time string which does not
consider the locale. (#4937)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Changed the man page for ckeygen to accurately reflect what it
does, and corrected its synposis so that a second "ckeygen" is not
a required part of the ckeygen command line. (#4738)

Features
--------
- twisted.web._newclient.HTTPParser (and therefore Agent) now handles
HTTP headers delimited by bare LF newlines. (#3833)
- twisted.web.client.downloadPage now accepts the `afterFoundGet`
parameter, with the same meaning as the `getPage` parameter of the
same name. (#4364)
- twisted.web.xmlrpc.Proxy constructor now takes additional 'timeout'
and 'reactor' arguments. The 'timeout' argument defaults to 30
seconds. (#4741)
- Twisted Web now has a templating system, twisted.web.template,
which is a direct, simplified derivative of Divmod Nevow. (#4939)
Bugfixes
--------
- HTTPPageGetter now adds the port to the host header if it is not
the default for that scheme. (#3857)
- twisted.web.http.Request.write now raises an exception if it is
called after response generation has already finished. (#4317)
- twisted.web.client.HTTPPageGetter and twisted.web.client.getPage
now no longer make two requests when using afterFoundGet. (#4760)
- twisted.web.twcgi no longer adds an extra "content-type" header to
CGI responses. (#4786)
- twisted.web will now properly specify an encoding (UTF-8) on error,
redirect, and directory listing pages, so that IE7 and previous
will not improperly guess the 'utf7' encoding in these cases.
Please note that Twisted still sets a *default* content-type of
'text/html', and you shouldn't rely on that: you should set the
encoding appropriately in your application. (#4900)
- twisted.web.http.Request.setHost now sets the port in the host
header if it is not the default. (#4918)
- default NOT_IMPLEMENTED and NOT_ALLOWED pages now quote the request
method and URI respectively, to protect against browsers which
don't quote those values for us. (#4978)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The XML-RPC howto now includes an example demonstrating how to
access the HTTP request object in a server-side XML-RPC method.
(#4732)

argument. (#4758)
- twisted.words.protocols.jabber.jstrports is once again able to
parse jstrport description strings. (#4771)
- twisted.words.protocols.msn.NotificationClient now calls the
loginFailure callback when it is unable to connect to the Passport
server due to missing SSL dependencies. (#4801)
- twisted.words.protocols.jabber.xmpp_stringprep now always uses
Unicode version 3.2 for stringprep normalization. (#4850)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Removed the non-working AIM bot example, depending on the obsolete
twisted.words.protocols.toc functionality. (#4007)
- Outdated GUI-related information was removed from the IM howto.
(#4054)
Deprecations and Removals

"/home" as the container for user directories. The new
BaseFTPRealm class in the same module also allows easy
implementation of custom user directory schemes. (#2179)

now have a descendant method to simplify code which calls the child
method repeatedly. (#3169)
- twisted.python.failure._Frame objects now support fake f_locals
attribute. (#4045)
- twisted.internet.endpoints now has 'serverFromString' and
'clientFromString' APIs for constructing endpoints from descriptive
strings. (#4473)

same result to shorten its summary output. (#4487)
- The new class twisted.protocols.ftp.SystemFTPRealm implements an
FTP realm which uses system accounts to select home directories.
(#4494)
- twisted.internet.reactor.spawnProcess now wastes less time trying
to close non-existent file descriptors on POSIX platforms. (#4522)

using zope.interface.Attribute. (#4534)
- twisted.application.app.ReactorSelectionMixin now saves the value
of the --reactor option in the "reactor" key of the options object.
(#4563)
- twisted.internet.endpoints.serverFromString and clientFromString,
and therefore also twisted.application.strports.service, now
support plugins, so third parties may implement their own endpoint
types. (#4695)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferred now handles chains iteratively
instead of recursively, preventing RuntimeError due to excessive
recursion when handling long Deferred chains. (#411)
- twisted.internet.cfreactor now works with trial. (#2556)
- twisted.enterprise.adbapi.ConnectionPool.close may now be called
even if the connection pool has not yet been started. This will
prevent the pool from ever starting. (#2680)

NetstringParseErrors for invalid netstrings now. It handles empty
netstrings ("0:,") correctly, and the performance for receiving
netstrings has been improved. (#4378)
- reactor.listenUDP now returns an object which declares that it
implements IListeningPort. (#4462)
- twisted.python.randbytes no longer uses PyCrypto as a secure random
number source (since it is not one). (#4468)
- twisted.internet.main.installReactor now blocks installation of
another reactor when using python -O (#4476)
- twisted.python.deprecate.deprecatedModuleAttribute now emits only
one warning when used to deprecate a package attribute which is a
module. (#4492)
- The "brief" mode of twisted.python.failure.Failure.getTraceback now
handles exceptions raised by the underlying exception's __str__
method. (#4501)
- twisted.words.xish.domish now correctly parses XML with namespaces
which include whitespace. (#4503)
- twisted.names.authority.FileAuthority now generates correct
negative caching hints, marks its referral NS RRs as non-
authoritative, and correctly generates referrals for ALL_RECORDS
requests. (#4513)
- twisted.internet.test.reactormixins.ReactorBuilder's attribute
`requiredInterface` (which should an interface) is now
`requiredInterfaces` (a list of interfaces) as originally described
per the documentation. (#4527)
- twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath.__repr__ now correctly formats paths
with ".." in them (by including it). (#4535)
- twisted.names.hosts.searchFileFor has been fixed against
refcounting dependency. (#4540)
- The POSIX process transports now declare that they implement
IProcessTransport. (#4585)

'CC=clang python setup.py build'. C code that caused errors with
this compiler has been removed. (#4652)
- trial now puts coverage data in the path specified by --temp-
directory, even if that option comes after --coverage on the
command line. (#4657)
- The unregisterProducer method of connection-oriented transports
will now cause the connection to be closed if there was a prior
call to loseConnection. (#4719)
- Fixed an issue where the new StreamServerEndpointService didn't log
listen errors. (This was a bug not present in any previous
releases, as this class is new.) (#4731)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The trial man page now documents the meaning of the final line of
output of the default reporter. (#1384)
- The API documentation for twisted.internet.defer.DeferredList now
goes into more depth about the effects each of the __init__ flags
that class accepts. (#3595)
- There is now narrative documentation for the endpoints APIs, in the
'endpoints' core howto, as well as modifications to the 'writing
clients' and 'writing servers' core howto documents to indicate
that endpoints are now the preferred style of listening and
connecting. (#4478)
- trial's man page now documents the --disablegc option in more
detail. (#4511)
- trial's coverage output format is now documented in the trial man
page. (#4512)
- Broken links and spelling errors in the finger tutorial are now
fixed. (#4516)
- twisted.internet.threads.blockingCallFromThread's docstring is now
explicit about Deferred support. (#4517)
- twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath.child now documents its handling of
".." (which is not special, making it different from
FilePath.child). (#4535)
- The API docs for twisted.internet.defer.Deferred now cover several
more of its (less interesting) attributes. (#4538)
- LineReceiver, NetstringReceiver, and IntNStringReceiver from
twisted.protocols.basic now have improved API documentation for
read callbacks and write methods. (#4542)
- Tidied up the Twisted Conch documentation for easier conversion.
(#4566)
- Use correct Twisted version for when cancellation was introduced in
the Deferred docstring. (#4614)
- The logging howto is now more clear about how the standard library
logging module and twisted.python.log can be integrated. (#4642)
- The finger tutorial still had references to .tap files. This
reference has now been removed. The documentation clarifies
"finger.tap" is a module and not a filename. (#4679)
- The finger tutorial had a broken link to the
twisted.application.service.Service class, which is now fixed.
Additionally, a minor typo ('verison') was fixed. (#4681)
- twisted.protocols.policies.TimeoutMixin now has clearer API
documentation. (#4684)

===============================
Features
--------
- twisted.web.xmlrpc.XMLRPC.xmlrpc_* methods can now be decorated
using withRequest to cause them to be passed the HTTP request
object. (#3073)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.web.xmlrpc.QueryProtocol.handleResponse now disconnects
from the server, meaning that Twisted XML-RPC clients disconnect
from the server as soon as they receive a response, rather than
relying on the server to disconnect. (#2518)
- twisted.web.twcgi now generates responses containing all
occurrences of duplicate headers produced by CGI scripts, not just
the last value. (#4742)

(#4416)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRCClient no longer invokes privmsg()
in the default noticed() implementation. (#4419)
- twisted.words.im.ircsupport.IRCProto now sends the correct name in
the USER command. (#4641)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Remove twisted.words.im.proxyui and twisted.words.im.tap. (#1823)
Twisted Core 10.1.0 (2010-06-27)
================================
Features
--------
- Add linux inotify support, allowing monitoring of file system
events. (#972)
- Deferreds now support cancellation. (#990)
- Added new "endpoint" interfaces in twisted.internet.interfaces,
which abstractly describe stream transport endpoints which can be
listened on or connected to. Implementations for TCP and SSL
clients and servers are present in twisted.internet.endpoints.
Notably, client endpoints' connect() methods return cancellable
Deferreds, so code written to use them can bypass the awkward
"ClientFactory.clientConnectionFailed" and
"Connector.stopConnecting" methods, and handle errbacks from or
cancel the returned deferred, respectively. (#1442)
- twisted.protocols.amp.Integer's documentation now clarifies that
integers of arbitrary size are supported and that the wire format
is a base-10 representation. (#2650)
- twisted.protocols.amp now includes support for transferring
timestamps (amp.DateTime) and decimal values (amp.Decimal). (#2651)
- twisted.protocol.ftp.IWriteFile now has a close() method, which can
return a Deferred. Previously a STOR command would finish
immediately upon the receipt of the last byte of the uploaded file.
With close(), the backend can delay the finish until it has
performed some other slow action (like storing the data to a
virtual filesystem). (#3462)
- FilePath now calls os.stat() only when new status information is
required, rather than immediately when anything changes. For some
applications this may result in fewer stat() calls. Additionally,
FilePath has a new method, 'changed', which applications may use to
indicate that the FilePath may have been changed on disk and
therefore the next status information request must fetch a new
stat result. This is useful if external systems, such as C
libraries, may have changed files that Twisted applications are
referencing via a FilePath. (#4130)
- Documentation improvements are now summarized in the NEWS file.
(#4224)
- twisted.internet.task.deferLater now returns a cancellable
Deferred. (#4318)
- The connect methods of twisted.internet.protocol.ClientCreator now
return cancellable Deferreds. (#4329)
- twisted.spread.pb now has documentation covering some of its
limitations. (#4402)
- twisted.spread.jelly now supports jellying and unjellying classes
defined with slots if they also implement __getstate__ and
__setstate__. (#4430)
- twisted.protocols.amp.ListOf arguments can now be specified as
optional. (#4474)
Bugfixes
--------
- On POSIX platforms, reactors now support child processes in a way
which doesn't cause other syscalls to sometimes fail with EINTR (if
running on Python 2.6 or if Twisted's extension modules have been
built). (#733)
- Substrings are escaped before being passed to a regular expression
for searching to ensure that they don't get interpreted as part of
the expression. (#1893)
- twisted.internet.stdio now supports stdout being redirected to a
normal file (except when using epollreactor). (#2259)
- (#2367)
- The tap2rpm script now works with modern versions of RPM. (#3292)
- twisted.python.modules.walkModules will now handle packages
explicitly precluded from importing by a None placed in
sys.modules. (#3419)
- ConnectedDatagramPort now uses stopListening when a connection
fails instead of the deprecated loseConnection. (#3425)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.setContent is now safe for
multiple processes to use concurrently. (#3694)
- The mode argument to the methods of
twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorUNIX is no longer deprecated.
(#4078)
- Do not include blacklisted projects when generating NEWS. (#4190)
- When generating NEWS for a project that had no significant changes,
include a section for that project and say that there were no
interesting changes. (#4191)
- Redundant 'b' mode is no longer passed to calls to FilePath.open
and FilePath.open itself now corrects the mode when multiple 'b'
characters are present, ensuring only one instance of 'b' is
provided, as a workaround for http://bugs.python.org/issue7686.
(#4207)
- HTML tags inside

tags in the code snippets are now escaped.
(#4336)
- twisted.protocols.amp.CommandLocator now allows subclasses to
override responders inherited from base classes. (#4343)
- Fix a bunch of small but important defects in the INSTALL, README
and so forth. (#4346)
- The poll, epoll, glib2, and gtk2 reactors now all support half-
close in the twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO transport. (#4352)
- twisted.application.internet no longer generates an extra and
invalid entry in its __all__ list for the nonexistent
MulticastClient. (#4373)
- Choosing a reactor documentation now says that only the select-
based reactor is a truly cross-platform reactor. (#4384)
- twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now no longer leaves files open,
to be closed by the garbage collector, when an exception is raised
in the implementation of setContent, getContent, or copyTo. (#4400)
- twisted.test.proto_helpers.StringTransport's getHost and getPeer
methods now return IPv4Address instances by default. (#4401)
- twisted.protocols.amp.BinaryBoxProtocol will no longer deliver an
empty string to a switched-to protocol's dataReceived method when
the BinaryBoxProtocol's buffer happened to be empty at the time of
the protocol switch. (#4405)
- IReactorUNIX.listenUNIX implementations now support abstract
namespace sockets on Linux. (#4421)
- Files opened with FilePath.create() (and therefore also files
opened via FilePath.open() on a path with alwaysCreate=True) will
now be opened in binary mode as advertised, so that they will
behave portably across platforms. (#4453)
- The subunit reporter now correctly reports import errors as errors,
rather than by crashing with an unrelated error. (#4496)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The finger tutorial example which introduces services now avoids
double-starting the loop to re-read its users file. (#4420)
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.callback's docstring now mentions
the implicit chaining feature. (#4439)
- doc/core/howto/listing/pb/chatclient.py can now actually send a
group message. (#4459)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorArbitrary,
twisted.application.internet.GenericServer, and
twisted.application.internet.GenericClient are now deprecated.

================================
Features
--------
- The twistd man page now has a SIGNALS section. (#689)
- reactor.spawnProcess now will not emit a PotentialZombieWarning
when called before reactor.run, and there will be no potential for
zombie processes in this case. (#2078)
- High-throughput applications based on Perspective Broker should now
run noticably faster thanks to the use of a more efficient decoding
function in Twisted Spread. (#2310)

be composed with some other argument types to create a zero or more
element sequence of that type. (#4116)
- If returnValue is invoked outside of a function decorated with

--------
- FTP.ftp_NLST now handles requests on invalid paths in a way
consistent with RFC 959. (#1342)

fixing a terrible infinite recursion bug that's only on edge case.
(#3289)

calculating the length so that the calculated length is equal to
the actual length of the transported data. (#3299)
- twisted.python.win32.cmdLineQuote now correctly quotes empty
strings arguments (#3876)
- Change the behavior of the Gtk2Reactor to register only one source

as arguments to the read and readlines methods. (#4114)
- twisted.web.wsgi doesn't unquote QUERY_STRING anymore, thus
complying with the WSGI reference implementation. (#4143)

#1219)
- A case where the SMTP client could skip some recipients when retrying

now bubble up to the higher-level API (such as the sendmail function) (#3642)
- Escape sequences inside quoted strings in IMAP4 should now be parsed
correctly by the IMAP4 server protocol (#3659)

that the lexical sorting of messages matches the order in which they were
received (#3812)

XMLRPC support in all supported versions of Python, and errors during error
serialization will no longer hang a twisted.web XMLRPC response (#2446)
- request.content should now always be seeked to the beginning when
request.process is called, so application code should never need to seek
back manually (#3585)
- Fetching a child of static.File with a double-slash in the URL (such as
"example//foo.html") should now return a 404 instead of a traceback and
500 error (#3631)

indicating success when the connection is prematurely lost (#3645)
- static.File will now provide a 404 instead of a 500 error when it was
constructed with a non-existent file (#3634)

resource tree. This means that WSGI applications should no longer generate
URLs with double-slashes in them even if they naively concatenate the values
(#3721)

now immediately raise a RuntimeError (#4013)
- An HTTP-auth resource should now be able to directly render the wrapped
avatar, whereas before it would only allow retrieval of child resources
(#4014)
- twisted.web's wsgi support should no longer attempt to call request.finish
twice, which would cause errors in certain cases (#4025)
- WSGI applications should now be able to handle requests with large bodies
(#4029)
- Exceptions raised from WSGI applications should now more reliably be turned
into 500 errors on the HTTP level (#4019)

Pidgin able to successfully connect to a twisted.words IRC server (#2385)
- The IRC client will now dispatch "RPL MOTD" messages received before a
"RPL MOTD START" instead of raising an exception (#3676)

attribute directly; instead, that attribute will be updated when the server
acknowledges the change (#3377)
- The IRC client protocol implementation now supports falling back to another
nickname when a nick change request fails (#3377, #4010)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
